TreeDimensional

Ekka, I looked through your links in the previous post. It is apparently as you have been saying, the government evens seems to condone the mutilation of trees, and uses your taxes dollars to pay for it.

I am also disappointed that this thread is crashing and burning. After careful consideration, I think I can give you an answer for why no one is responding. The photos in post #1 of this thread show only damage in the root area. This is possibly seen as not such a big deal to most people, kinda like "out of sight, out of mind". I guess that more people think the green stuff on top is more important than the brown stuff below ground.

Life lessons have taught me that the worst place to be, when being struck is at the outside radius of the object doing the striking. I got a broken arm to prove it. I don't mean to down play the forces of a limb failing in a tree, but I would rather have a limb hit me than the whole tree.

As I am not a resident of Australia, I could only guess at the volatility of the weather. But with almost 50% of the root area being destroyed, I am sure the possibility of a wind throw is likely to happen.

For the members of Tree World from Brisbane, this is an opportunity to get together and stand up to the man (regulators). Ekka has demonstrated that he's willing to take one on the chin for you, will you for him?

There is no shame in banding together for a common goal, even if you are sometimes competitors. If you work to the best of your abilities and abide by the regulations, everyone except the hacks win.
